This week we have begun a new Science unit about animals and how they are classified. Your child has chosen an animal that they are going to research and do two projects about. One of the projects is one that will be completed at home, the Google Slideshow and writing of their research project will be done at school. I have placed an explanation in each student's Friday Folder. We will start actively researching next week and our Media Specialist will be coming in to our classroom to help us learn how to use Google Slides. Through this project we are able to target standards in science and writing.
During rounds of Daily 5 this week we were able to work in strategy groups to review skills that would be targeted on their reading test. We took one extra day to work in strategy groups so the final part of the test will be completed on Monday, we took one part on Thursday and we took one on Friday.
Next week we will be finishing our last division lesson and will be having our division unit test on Thursday. Your child will bring home homework pages from their Math book in order to review and practice skills for this assessment. Please make sure to review the sheets with you child after they complete them.
Our Pizza Party Game day was fun for everyone. We were able to play some games your children brought in and enjoy some pizza together. I am very proud of them for earning this reward. We have had several discussions this week about how chatty they can be as a group. We are going to continue to work on this especially when we are in specials.
